The reality is probably that bean-counters infest all companies these days, and long-established, well-beloved products are vulnerable to their sales figures. I *do* think Ilford has a proclivity to replace or substantially modify many of their main products after a run of a decade or so, or at any rate it has done so several times to my annoyance. How long was the original Delta 400 on the market, anyone remember? I beta-tested some prior to 1992, but I don't recall exactly when. - --Mike **************************************************************************** I have heard rumors that Ilford is discontinuing PanF+, for the same reasons that Agfa discontinued AgfaPan25, lack of sales. Does anyone know if the rumour has any merit to it? It wouldn't surprise me since Delta 100 seems to be very popular, and I'm sure has taken away alot of PanF+ sales. Still, the two have different looks and I was growing quite fond of Panf+ for certain things. Maybe I should buy a few bulk rolls now. Tom Finnegan Seattle
